June 15, 1992 -- Malvern, PA--ENSONIQ Corp has introduced a new 76-key
weighted action synthesizer, the KS-32. Designed with the performing
pianist, church musician and educator in mind, the KS-32 features a newly
designed weighted action keyboard with velocity and channel pressure
response. The feel of this new keyboard is sure to appeal to anyone
looking for a true piano action in a workstation or MIDI controller
keyboard.

The KS-32 is 32 note polyphonic, with up to three oscillators per Sound.
There are 3 Megabytes of mostly 16-bit wave memory, comprising 168
different multi-sampled waveforms. The 180 onboard sounds cover a wide
assortment of acoustic and electric pianos, jazz, rock and classical
organs, clavinet, harpsichord, orchestral and pop instruments. There are
20 dedicated drum kits in the KS-32 as well, with support for both the
ENSONIQ and General MIDI methods of drum mapping. With an external RAM or
ROM card the KS-32 can access 340 sounds, and it is compatible with cards
developed for any of the ENSONIQ SQ keyboards.

An onboard 24-bit dynamic effects processor provides 13 different effects
algorithms, including reverbs, chorusing, phasing, flanging, roto-speaker
simulation, distortion and combination effects. Up to 16 internal and
external sounds can be combined in split and layered setups to create a
Performance Preset, with control over volume, panning, transposition, key
range, effects bussing and other parameters for each sound. For MIDI
control, any track can be used to control both internal and external
sounds, or be set to transmit over MIDI exclusively. A special "Make
Default Preset" button makes working with external MIDI gear easy for any
user. With one button push the user can go from playing a single internal
sound to having an instant Performance Preset, with sound layering and
split points already defined. The KS-32 holds up to 100 Performance
Presets in internal memory.

The KS-32 also features a 16-track sequencer with 96 PPQ resolution, with
8,500 note memory standard, expandable to 58,000 with the optional SQX-70.
Real-time and step-entry recording is supported, and extensive editing
control is provided with the ability to audition every important edit to
hear the results before deciding which to save. The KS-32 can hold up to
70 sequences and 30 songs, and sequences can be saved to RAM cards or via
MIDI System Exclusive.

With its slim design and light weight (49 lbs.) the KS-32 is a very
portable solution to the keyboardist who needs a weighted action keyboard
workstation. The suggested retail price of the KS-32 Weighted Action MIDI
Studio is $2195.00 (US). For more information contact: ENSONIQ Corp, 155
